On RH 8, I added DisallowTCP=true to the gdm.conf file and it worked.
I have tried in my gdm.conf file [security] section as described in
http://www.jirka.org/gdm-documentation/x227.html

When I restart gdm or when I reboot, port 6000 is still open (nmap -s T 
<ip address>).

I hope it is fixed in Fedora (of course, I hope the docs also describe 
how to open it
back up for those that don't know this option).

Can I use the fedora gdm package on RH 9?

Thanks,
